There is absolutely no doubt that in a country like Iran the only reason for a power blackout is crypto mining.

FWIW several Iranian Bitcoiners don’t believe the government and don’t think mining is causing the problems, they think it’s a regime excuse:https://t.co/YqV2E288g1

Everyday, #Iran rulers offer a new way of death and misery to the Iranian people to inflict despair and submission on them. What an exercise in futility! The mullahs are just making the next round of #IranProtests even more explosive.https://t.co/WmSTEyYSuQ

Massive blackouts have hit Iran. Only this time the government is blaming bitcoin mining, an energy-intensive industry that's taken off in Iran due to cheap electricity & high inflation -- & a desire to find ways to work around suffocating U.S. sanctions. https://t.co/EuW74dgyOB

Good news for #ARB
Nearly 3X ARBSs current mining machines (16,000), were taken out of the picture.#ARB is one of the greenest most efficient mining companies (PH / Megawatt) with most of their power being hydroelectric.#ARBKF $ARBKF #Bitcoin #Zcash https://t.co/l3aslAy52x pic.twitter.com/3IqqTfrVZc
